Rex,

Can you clarify which art you mean exactly?

I am of the opinion that the vast panorama of twentieth century art will be largely dismissed by future generations.

Rex,

Are you being a visionary here, or are you simply stating what most people thing about contemporary art at the present?

Harrell's transcription of his conversation with his great-aunt is brilliant -- heart wrenching, precise, evocative -- no one else would have transcribed it with all the warts and missed cues and stops while the transcriber recovered. I wept. D.

Harrell’s transcription of his conversation with his great-aunt is brilliant — heart wrenching, precise, evocative — no one else would have transcribed it with all the warts and missed cues and stops while the transcriber recovered. I wept.

Don't worry if you don't hear from me right way. This really puts a new spin on the idea of time-based arts, doesn't it :) Leslie: While you’re at it, I’d like to know if some of the materials I am using are really as archival as they profess to be.

I’ll be happy to report back when I get there. Don’t worry if you don’t hear from me right way. This really puts a new spin on the idea of time-based arts, doesn’t it :)
